Section 79 — Land Registration Act 2002: Voluntary registration of demesne land

Voluntary registration of demesne land 79 1 Her Majesty may grant an estate in fee simple absolute in possession out of demesne land to Herself.

2 The grant of an estate under subsection (1) is to be regarded as not having been made unless an application under section 3 is made in respect of the estate before the end of the period for registration.

3 The period for registration is two months beginning with the date of the grant, or such longer period as the registrar may provide under subsection (4).

4 If on the application of Her Majesty the registrar is satisfied that there is a good reason for doing so, he may by order provide that the period for registration ends on such later date as he may specify in the order.

5 If an order under subsection (4) is made in a case where subsection (2) has already applied, that application of the subsection is to be treated as not having occurred.
